2009-10 Workforce Development Information System (WDIS) Database Handbook

Introduction:

The District WDIS Database Handbook is for use by the school districts, and offers guidance on the reporting of adult general education and postsecondary vocational education student data in the Workforce Development Information System (WDIS).

What is WDIS?

WDIS [Workforce Development Information System] is the Workforce Development reporting system and uses six reporting formats. Each format contains specific data elements required for gathering student and teacher data.

(New) In 2009-10, the WDIS Completion Format was renamed to the WDIS Supplemental Information format and redesigned for use in reporting Industry Certification or Additioinal Hours Credited. All other completion data elements have been moved back to the Vocational Student Course Schedule.

Secondary students are reported in WDIS when they are co-enrolled in the adult general education program. Secondary vocational education students are reported in the K-12 reporting system.
